Zing problems

Yes, this is long-standing – I've made it work right on MacZing, but it hasn't made it to Tooch yet.

Ah - thanks. Surprised I've not run into this before. I guess I don't make a habit of bookmarking months-old places in threads.

I’m frequently getting cookie preference windows now on links from iOS Zing that can’t be cleared - only way to view the link is to force it to open the link in Safari

Example: https://mixmag.net/read/analogue-disc-ionic-originals-burnett-cd-vinyl-tech?fbclid=IwAR1fj__3pwPlSFkvgVRc0uMGbEViSzjrX_eUcCCnPv-x-HJ48VUNzKp8iNA

I see the problem – should be fixed in the next release. Thanks!

There's a corrupted post (posted today) in this thread which is preventing it from working in Zing: ILM's Top 100 Tracks of the 2010s

Looks like emil.y has fixed, let me know if there are still probs

Fixed, thanks!

getting the dreaded corrupted post message in this thread: lydia lunch worship thread

this is still happening. is it fixable at all?

Oh yeah, I am getting it as well.

Fixed now, sorry!

I don't know if this rises to the level of "problem" rather than "oddity" but this list post: Rolling Comic Books 2022
reads oddly on Zing - most of the asterisks are missing, and random entries are bolded?

Ahh, I never knew that! Thanks!

It would be great if the formatting for bold could be changed, so that doesn’t happen… just a request!

You can tap on the individual posts to read them as formatted, when you see that happening

Something is corrupting this thread so it won’t open in Zing: Wait a second - was Alex in NYC actually in Cop Shoot Cop?

yep, same for me

Thirded.

fixed, sorry about that

^Same thing is happening in this thread: What was John Fogerty's feud with the rest of CCR about?

should be fixed!

🙏

I assume a known issue(?) – long-pressing an image and selecting “Save to phone” crashes the app (without saving the image).

I didn’t know! Can you link a post that causes it pls

Thanks!: every record cover where a 60s or 70s artist goes 80s in a big way.

This thread has old or corrupted messages that Zing can’t parse: defend the indefensible: "we are the world"

try it now, should be fixed

🙏

^seconded

I have fixed the image bug; will be in the next update

I still can't view Guardian articles in Zing on my iPhone 11 Pro because the cookie acceptance button is not accessible. Screenshots from top and bottom of scrollable cookie splash below. Can't click on sign-in link either

Just found a workaround that is semi-permanent (rather than forcing open in external browser each time): if I tap on the partners list I can accept all cookies from that screen and now my cookie seems to be set.

sometimes you can access a little sliver of a cookie-acceptance button if you rotate the orientation of your screen. this comes up periodically with different links. honestly what i would really love in zing is a setting where i can set links to default open outside of zing in an app instead (web browser, youtube, whatever). not tech savvy so no idea if that's an easy thing to do but seems like it might be?

Yes it’s very easy; will add it

That would be great, much appreciated!

Awesome, thank you stet!

OK this is double-fixed in the new version - links open in a proper browser view inside Zing (so no cover-up of cookies settings), and there's a preference setting to always open them in your system browser. In testing now, should be released soon

Thank you!

Whoa – new app icon! (and functionality…)

Updates look great, thanks again! Hero

When you’re typing a post, how do you access the quick formatting options for bold, quote, etc.?

Think upthread it was noted that it went away but will be back at some future point, hopefully soon

Is there still a way to refresh a thread when you are within it?

Info - refresh

You can still get to the full composer by going into an individual post and hitting the reply button. (If you clear the quoted text it’s literally the old composer). But yes, better option coming soon.

Better must come

If you search (within a board), click into a thread found in the search results, and then back out of that thread, I think it used to take you back to the search results(?) Now it takes you to the New Answers page of the board, so you have to run the search again to try another thread…
